Oh, I feel that! I used the original Xbox Elite controller for years with no issues. When I upgraded to the Elite 2.0 though, it was a waste of money. Defective RB out of the box twice, and very noticeable stick drift out of the box as well. Ended up grabbing that Razer Wolverine on sale for $80 (no

Controller, pro or after market controller or keyboard and mouse.

Ive tried highend KbM as well as the dual sense edge controller and the xbox elite series 2. I havent trued aftermarket but my suggestion is to go with the dualsense edge. I wouldnt recommend KbM on bo7 or bo6. The only recent cod that KbM was good on was mw3. Bo6 and 7 movement is just too much for

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?

Honestly I've had about 1 Elite series 1 controller and about 3 Elite Series 2 controllers. They ALWAYS lose the grip or get stick drift. There was not one of them who didn't lose the grip between the first couple months. Even a regular controllers have lasted longer. I can't believe I wasted $1000

Do NOT get a series 2. Check out the latest razer controller for Xbox. Wolverine v3 pro I believe. Highly recommend that, zero stick drift, great build & has the same features. Or wait for the elite series 3 but the leak didn't look promising if it was legit.

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?

I’ve been playing on Xbox for over 20 years, and I’d never had problems with controller quality until the series x ones this gen. I’ve been through 3 series 2 elites, and just gave up entirely on them. Arriving with buttons not working, eventual stick drift, and buttons getting stuck, it’s a coin fl

Leaked images reveal Xbox Elite 3 controller with mysterious new buttons

Mine has fallen completely apart. I’ve had to get 3rd party silicon covers for the joysticks and the rubber on the sides has come loose. This is a replacement elite series 2 for my original one that had a left trigger stop working intermittently just within warranty. I like the controller, but quali

Every elite controller ive gotten has had stick drift

Note: copy and pasted from another thread I commented on about my experience I had with Craprosoft and their "Elite" junk controller. I will hate Craprosoft for the rest of my life due to their crappy controllers they make. They will NEVER get another penny of my money EVER AGAIN and I will spread t

Leaked images of Xbox Elite 3 controller

125hz+DLI was great when it was released in 2020, but now its mid 2026 and many affordable options offer noticeably better connectivity - IMO Microsoft had to bump the polling rate from 125hz to 250hz and call it a day, it's a meaningful latency improvement and it's what Valve did with Steam Control
